Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to improve the accuracy of using the inferior petrosal sinus to peripheral ACTH gradient (IPS:P) test in differentiating between Cushing's disease (CD) and ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS) before and after desmopressin stimulation.
- - Out of 50 patients studied, the IPS:P test showed high sensitivity rates ranging from 85.1% to 97.9% depending on the cutoff values used, with a consistent specificity of 100%.
- - The results indicate that desmopressin stimulation enhances the diagnostic reliability of the IPS:P test, leading to quicker and more accurate responses in identifying ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome.

Treatment with rosiglitazone has been associated with severe paradoxical HDL-c reductions. To our knowledge, there are very few reports of this reaction occurring when patients are treated without the combination of a fibrate. A case of severe HDL-c lowering in a patient treated with rosiglitazone without a fibrate is presented.
